The Gaseous Universe
Dr. Andrew Fox, Space Telescope Science Institute
In our everyday lives, we deal mainly with the solid and liquid forms of matter. In astrophysics, however, gas plays a prominent role throughout the Universe; from planetary and stellar atmospheres to the vast expanses of interstellar and intergalactic space. Gas clouds are also critical to the formation and development of stars and the life cycle of galaxies. Observations of light emitted by gaseous matter in these various environments provides a large and important component of our knowledge of the cosmos. Join us, for a gas-tronomical feast for the mind.
